***Class of 2017 NMSF/NMF Qualifying Scores

A 219 confirmed in GA - post #6436 on CC predictions thread.

so GA <=219.

@texaspg what exactly do you mean by the “standard bearer”? And why wouldn’t we be able to dispute, well, anything? I think we all understand that these numbers are based on hearsay, rumors, confidential sources, etc. and nothing should be deemed gospel. I say let the numbers come in from all sources, particularly one as credible as Art, and of course if someone has contradictory information, post that as well. Whatever. I must be missing your point because it doesn’t make much sense to me.

Based on available updates (best info we have as of now)…
Changing IA, KS, NH, NY to confirmed as per Art at CompassPrep (thank you Art for your persistence)
20 States confirmed at this point (again, based on current best info)
Also, updated GA.

@texaspg if you block arts blog you will inadvertently shut down this thread. Not what you want to be doing.

Dear “Super Moderator” - - While I appreciate your points, the vast majority of contributors to this thread have been interacting with Art Sawyer for nearly a year. He has been a great and reliable resource. Not sure why you seem to be trying to create an issue when I have never seen you contribute to this thread before this week.

@PicoLA Because ART is NOT the STANDARD BEARER here!!! Can’t have ART undermining my ability to dispute!! :slight_smile:

@mnpapa29 . . . dispute Art all you want . . . let us know when you find a mistake :slight_smile:

If someone gets NMSF at an SI below the ones listed here or by Art, they should certainly speak up. I don’t believe I’ve seen that yet, but if it happens, particularly with a poster with a posting history, we would certainly change the cutoff score in our list.

That said, I think we should use data from wherever we can find it to try to compile the list before 9/14, when we can call NMC to confirm the cutoffs state by state.

Can we please keep this thread to results only. Thanks.

@suzyQ7 no - unfortunately, we can’t even do that. Moderator is questioning Art’s numbers and threatening to ban mention of the blog, BION. Post #99

Missouri 216

MN 219

confirmed. Source mentioned on the Predictions thread :))

More from the other thread:

ID 214
UT 215
SC 215

MO Cutoff : 216 :frowning:

OK a few more (hard to find these buried in the comments of uh . . well, you know!)

NE 215
NC 218
MI 216

If your DS or DD has a score on the SAT that will convert to a SI score of 209 or better, is that high enough for a confirmation score?

From comments: NV 214

NV = 214 buried in the comment thread and in the prediction thread.

AZ 219

Ok, giving this a try. (updating presumed cutoff scores only…at this point too hard to keep track of the source, although most are from this and other CC thread and/or Compass.)

Adding AK, AZ, CT, GA(update), ID, IN(update), ME, MI, MN (update), MO (update), NE, NC (upd), NV, OH (upd), OK (upd), OR (poss question re this one), SC (upd), UT (upd), VT, and WA.

I think the GA one should read <=219, according to that post. I haven’t seen the cutoff number yet (and I’m looking, believe me).
